    Turns out there is a hotfix from Nvidia for this issue. Here's the link.

    Thank you! I was getting that message too from my NVIDIA card. Will give it a shot!

    It didn't work unfortunately. I swapped video cards too. No difference. It's an ESO thing I'm sure. I'm also getting it on both servers now.

    I rolled back the driver, no change. It crashes after 4 minutes everytime now. Totally unplayable!!!

    I'm beginning to think it's the video card driver that's jacked up. I just tried to run LoTRO and it did the exact same thing....went to black screen w/cursor, could hear the music, but no picture...then it crashed with the message "The game encountered a fatal DirectX issue while attempting to start. Try a different screen resolution or bit depth. If that doesn't work, try new video drivers. [128]".

    No problems.

    I'm using 385.59. I wonder if there's any way to roll back to a previous version.

    It only let me rollback one time and I think the issue started with that driver. Not sure how to get back 344.65. I have 358.50.

    I did a manual download of the 355.98 and so far it appears to be working.

    Hotfix didn't help either.
    Downloading an older version and see what's happening.

    The older driver fixed the issue.

    Once I got in I kept playing...
    But the older driver fixed it for me as well!
